Summary

It is possible to use schedules in order to create different policies for the same traffic, based on different times of day

Overview

The Exinda allows for configuring policies in the optimizer tree to make them available based on schedules. As an example - if an administrator wants Windows Update traffic to be blocked during business hours and allowed after hours, a policy to accommodate this can be created based on these different schedules.

The steps to do this are as folllows:1. Create schedule objects under Objects - Schedules to define the business hours and after hours

Navigate to Objects -> Schedules

Pre-created schedules can be edited, or new schedules created according to their requirement.
